St. Patrick’s Senior Center holds open house
The Heppner St. Patrick’s
Senior Center showed off
its complete remodeling job
last week by holding an open
house for the public.
Many of the apartments on
the first, second and third
floors were opened up to the
public.
Residents in each of the apart
ments were moved during
the remodeling to allow for a
complete work-over. Each of
the residents contacted during
the open house expressed how
pleased they were with their
new apartments.
Pictured in the top photo is
Billie Fay Lacy in her newly
remodeled apartment.
Bingo games were also held in
the meeting and dining area
of the center, and the winner
of the free trip to Las Vegas
was Joan Basile of Heppner.
